Pay it Forward
When Abby Wilmot of Terrace Ridge School in Lacombe, Alberta had her birthday party recently, she didn't ask her friends for a gift.  Instead, she asked her friends to bring a donation to the Terrace Ridge Breakfast Club program.  Abby raised $98.00 and donated all of it to her school breakfast program.  Thank you to Abby and her friends for their act of kindness!  What a wonderful inspiration you are to all of us involved with Breakfast for Learning and school nutritional programs.
